COMPOSITE TUCKED FABRIC.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 16, 19115.

Application filed July 12, 1967. Serial No. 383,393.

Few York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CompositeTucked Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new article of manufacture especially adaptedto be used in the manufacture of ladies wearing apparcl.

It consists of the novel arrangement of two or more fabrics preferablyof different materials, one over the other, attached to gether by meansof tucks made in both materials; the outer material forming the outercasing or covering for the tuck, while the under or inner material formsthe inner shell or lining of the tuck. It will thus be seen that whilethere is a tuck in each of the fabrics they are so arranged that theyform but one composite tuck which is made by a single row of stitching.

In the drawings forming part of the application and in which likeletters repre; sent like parts, Figure 1 shows the under or reverse sideof my composite tucked fabrics, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectiontaken through the line 22 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings, forming the under or inner side and B represents thefabric forming the top or outer side, which in the form of my inventionshown in the drawings, isof net, although any other desirable fabricscould be used. In the preferred form, however,

of my invention it is desirable to use a fab' ric for the top or outerside which will permit the fabric of the under or inner side to be seenthrough it, or to at least permit of the color of the under fabric to'beseen through it.

The fabrics to be used having been selected they are placed one upon theother and secured together by means of a single A represents the fabricrow of stitching D, which forms the com posite tuck C made of the twofabrics. As seen in Fig. 2, when the tucks C are made by the single rowof stitching D, the tuck in the fabric A lies within the tuck in thefabric B, thus forming a composite tuck made of the two materials.

'In the drawings 1 have shown my invention in the form of a waist front,in which it will be noted that the tucks on the right side lie overtoward the right, while the tucks on the left side lie over toward theleft. Of course my invention is not limited to this, as the tucks may bemade in any form or in any desired arrangement or at any distance.

In the manufacture of my composite tucked fabrics many unique designsmay be made by using fabrics of different colors and arranging the tucksso as to form pleasing effects in the use of the same when niade intowearing apparel.

What I claim asmew and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. As an article of manufacture, a composite fabric composed of twofabrics held together by parallel tucks formed in both fabrics on oneside only, the outer fabric being of such a nature that it will permitthe under fabric to be seen through it.

2. As an article of manufacture, a composite fabric composed of twofabrics different in color, said fabrics being held together by paralleltucks formed in both fabrics on one side only so as to form a compositefabric, the material of the outer fabric being of such a nature that itwill permit the material of the under fabric to be seen through it.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
